Description
In a world where music can reshape reality, one voice may hold the key to salvation or destruction. Journalist William O'Shaughnessy has always rejected the Virtual - an AI-driven wasteland of uniformity and distraction. But his safe, analogue life shatters when a haunting folk tune plays on his computer, dredging up macabre visions linked to a murder he's just written about. A fateful trip to the library sets Will on a path that blurs the lines between madness and magic. Discovering an ancient songbook, Will becomes entangled with Legend, a mesmerising Fae with secrets of her own. Together, they uncover Will's rare and dangerous gift: music magic. As scenes from the songbook come to life, the duo must navigate treacherous realms, face a manipulative Fae Queen, and unravel a prophecy tied to nuclear devastation. With humanity's creativity and survival on the brink, Will and Legend must fight to complete a powerful ritual. But when betrayal strikes and Will finds himself a pawn in the Queen's twisted game, he must rely on the bonds of love, the power of story, and the transformative force of his own voice.
